Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital

I love Hemlock Bluffs!! They really care about your pet and don't try and oversell you. They always make sure to call and follow up after any appointments to make sure Scout is doing well. The entire staff there is great and even stayed after hours once when I had a pet emergency! Can't recommend them enough :) Read Less

We have been going to Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital for a little over two years, and we are so happy that we found them! My husband and I are so grateful for the care given to our two dogs by the doctors and the staff. They truly seem to love the animals and what they do. Thank you Dr. Snyder and Dr. D for finding the cancer in both of our dogs in time for us to prevent it from spreading in the one, and allowing us to cherish the other. You and your staff helped us through a very difficult time. Read Less

All our 4 legged children are seen there and one is on a first name basis with most of the staff. All of the staff is wonderful to work with, rates are reasonable. If I could get the human healthcare community to spend as much time and compassion with their patients as Dr. D does with his we would all be healthier and better informed. Read Less

Dr. Snyder and her staff are great. We have been bringing our dogs to Hemlock Bluffs for a while now and we have been extremely happy with the care and attention our dogs have received. We would highly recommend them. Read Less

I've seen all the doctors at Hemlock Bluffs since moving to NC 2 years ago. My dog had cancer prior to moving here and I've felt extremely comfortable with the treatment and follow-up she has received since seeing the docs. I think Hemlock Bluffs is very thorough and has provided excellent care whenever I have needed it for our 4 cats and 2 dogs. Highly recommend for both the staff and the docs! Read Less

LOVE LOVE LOVE DR SNYDER! My dog is alive today because of her. He has congestive heart failure and my previous vet gave up on managing him and said he had months to live TWO YEARS AGO. Thank god my neighbor recommended Hemlock because I really believe Dr Snyder saved his life! She just would not give up! And every time my baby is sick she gets me in no matter what the same day, no waiting. She stayed over her lunch last time just to work around my schedule because I couldn't get in during regular hours... and then to top it off called me at 8pm that night just to check on him because she was worried about him! And I KNOW she wanted to get home!! Always feel like I am her number one customer....exams are always so complete, she takes her time to examine every part and piece. Prices are very reasonable, my previous vet in Holly Springs gave half the value at twice the price! And the office is incredible....staff is always smiling and laughing, they even help me out to my car every time when I have my kids with me as well. You just don't find service like this anymore! Highly recommend Dr. Snyder and Hemlock Bluffs. Best Vet Ever!!! Read Less

This will be my second review in five years. We just love this place!!!Just incredibly nice, nice, nice location, surroundings, doctors, technicians, and the front desk staff are all just wonderful! Jen, Jenny, Justine ...the upfront staff are just super nice and fun! And the office is always so clean! I love the fact I can get my Keurig coffee fix there in the mornings too when I bring in Rocky. The technician staff in the back that work with the dogs are just so sweet to my doggies. I feel like they are family as I am in this veterinary office every week, twice a week for the last year + having Rocky get fluids under this skin for his chronic kidney disease he is being treated for by Dr. D. Rocky loves going there too! He knows he is loved and cared for. My husband and I are over the moon this office is so near to us! We are so lucky! Read Less

Such a home like environment for our fur babies. They have and do take great care of our dogs from the front staff, the techs and the vets. It has been a very positive experience after relocating to the area. We highly recommend Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital. Read Less

We couldn't be more pleased with the level of service and care we receive at Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital. The staff is always friendly, and the doctors do a fantastic job of caring for our pets. They turned around our Pug's quality of life, and we are forever grateful for that. Thank you HBAH for taking such great care of us!! Read Less

My two dogs are very pleased with the attention they get from the time they walk in the door until they leave. Staff is wonderful. Love Dr. D. So warm and friendly and really cares about your dogs. Love this practice. Read Less

Dr. Dabiero is a very sincere and caring , compassionate doctor who speaks slowing so you can digest every word! He will give you as much time as you need in the office.. The staff is also the same so you know they love their jobs! If your looking for a hospital , this is the place; there office is like a home. Read Less

Our two dogs are so well cared for at Hemlock Bluffs. They are always welcoming and informative. We feel like they are in great hands there and refer everyone we know for the best care around. You can tell that everyone who works there genuinely loves animals. The atmosphere is always clean and comfortable. Dr D is the man. We have been going there for over two years and have always been so pleased. Highly recommend. Read Less

The best vet hospital in the triangle...! Dr. Snyder and her staff do an outstanding job of providing exceptional care for my dog. I wouldn't trust my pet's care to any other vet or veterinary hospital. Staff who genuinely care, state of the art equipment, wide choice of available appointments, and all at reasonable prices. Read Less

The entire staff is friendly and helpful. We never have a problem getting an appointment or even just speaking to someone on staff for a question over the phone. We recently had to go through our youngest dog being diagnosed with cancer and ultimately making the toughest decision of all - everyone at Hemlock Bluffs was SO supportive. They made an impossible time manageable. They called to follow-up to see how we were doing, as well as our older dog. We even received sympathy cards. I would never go anywhere else and always recommend Hemlock Bluffs to anyone we meet. Read Less

I have been coming to Hemlock Bluffs since adopting my dog Ninja. I could not feel more lucky to have found a place that makes me and my dog feel more like family than just another patient. The entire staff is phenomenal. Both Ninja and I always look forward to our visits. Would highly recommend. Read Less

We started with Dr Snyder and Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital 4 years ago after adopting our rescue puppy Kolby. I asked for a recommendation from a good family friend and veterinarian (currently practicing with NC State/farm animals), and she immediately recommended Dr Snyder 😊. Kolby has been well taken care of now by all the staff at Hemlock Bluffs, and couldn’t be happier. This held especially true just a year ago, when we had a stray showed up on our doorstep. The whole team was wonderful trying to help. Jack needed medical attention and tried to locate an owner. In the end Jack joined our family. What has endeared Dr Snyder and Hemlock Bluffs to us is how they work with Jack. He’s a bit skiddish and can get overwhelmed. Dr Snyder is wonderful with him and loveingly works within his needs. Couldn’t ask for a better experience 😊 Read Less

If you are in need of help for your animal, this is the place to come. Our guinea pig needed surgery (yes, a guinea pig) and everyone here went above and beyond to help him through it. Even when the Dr was on vacation, she checked in on him. This staff loves all animals and it shows! Read Less

The entire staff at HBAH is wonderful. So much so that we continue to take our dogs there even though we’ve moved to Wake Forest. After I rescued my Wheaten we saw four different vets trying to resolve his skin allergy issues. Dr. Snyder came up with an action plan and its worked. It’s not a magical miracle and he will always struggle some (notorious breed issue) but it’s under control and his quality of life dramatically improved. All of the staff genuinely cares for our pets and it shows. They’re so great with the dogs that they not only want to go to the vet, they get excited to go in and hate to leave. Read Less

I had a wonderful experience here from start to finish with everyone at Hemlock Bluffs. Making the appointment was extremely easy. The office feels like you're at home and my dogs were very comfortable when we went in. They are usually terrified. Dr Debiero was awesome. He had gone through our previous records and was the most thorough vet I have ever encountered. He also was just a very friendly and pleasant person to work with. I would recommend him and this practice. We will be going back! Read Less

It's difficult to find a vet for small pets like our hamster. Many places offer it but have a hard time handling them and resort to anesthesia for small things like teeth trimming. I'm so glad we went here- this place is very professional and reasonably priced, but also showed great care and affection for our pet. I was impressed with the service and care at Hemlock Bluffs. Our hamster received fast and effective treatment as well. I highly recommend this place! Read Less

I love this place and my dog does too!!!  My older son Alec went on a hunting trip and brought us the best dog back.  We have had our fair share of scares with this little guy and Dr Snyder is not only a GREAT veterinarian,  but she made me feel secure in knowing our puppy at the time was in good hands.  The minute you walk through the door you are greeted with an AMAZING staff that really care, and love what the do!!  They are top notch and their facility is clean, well organized, and is the most comfortable doggy house I have ever been in!!!After having some bad experiences at other animal hospitals, I just want to say thank you Hemlock Bluffs Team for making me feel safe and confident in knowing my best friend is truly cared for!!!  You guys Rock keep on keeping on!

We have always taken our 5 year old and 4 year old Pit mixes to a vet in North Raleigh as we don't trust just anyone with our dogs and their well-being. We switched to Hemlock Bluffs a few months back, as we now have a newborn and driving to N Raleigh just isn't in the books anymore, and I am so glad we did!Our older dog has had chronic incontinence for the past two years. The first medicine the old vet put her on made her sick. The second medicine worked but it was too harmful to organs to keep her on it long term. That vet told me the only other option was surgery, but that the surgery sometimes doesn't work. We ended up just giving our dog the second medicine when the incontinence got too bad.Fast forward to HB - I took our older dog in to get her checked and assessed for the incontinence again as it had gotten bad. The doctor spent about 20 minutes with us, checking my dog and clearly explaining to me all the options. He didn't even need to ask me about her history because he had read her entire file that was faxed over from the old vet. This blew my mind. My own doctors don't even do that when I switch practices! It was so nice to know that he actually cared enough to learn about my dog before coming in the room. I had asked him if surgery was our only option since the medicine hadn't worked and he said there isn't even a surgery to fix incontinence. Good thing I didn't trust my last vet  He put my dog on a new medicine and sent us on our way. The medicine ended up not working so I called them two weeks later and left a message for the doctor to ask what to do. To my surprise, the doctor call me back, not a nurse or front desk person, and talked me through more options. This is serious customer service! We finally have my dog on a medicine that is working and I am thankful that HB helped get her in such a great place. The customer service is outstanding and everyone that works here is incredibly kind. Read Less

We found ourselves in an emergency situation, with our dog Callie needing surgery immediately. Reception was warm and empathetic, and quickly got all the necessary information. Dr. Parker was quick in getting us in, and was a great comfort during a stressful situation. We're new to the area, and our experience means we now have a permanent vet! Read Less

We moved here last year for work from the Midwest where our two dogs had the same vet for years. It was hard to find the right vet to establish new relationships with but we found Hemlock Bluffs. Last Friday, we lost one of our family members and although the experience is never pleasant, the technicians, office staff and Dr. Snyder made the experience the best end of days for our lovely Sadie. I will be forever thankful for the care and gentle touch they had with our situation. I know that Sadie could not have been in better medical hands on the most difficult day. Thank you to the staff for your generosity and your kindness. We are forever grateful and you have gained loyal customers in the years to come with Bogey. Read Less

So appreciative of the care they gave our dog Bailey last week when she had 4 cysts removed along with a tooth (& good cleaning). The staff is amazing & Dr Snyder kept us updated during the surgery. We thank Dr Snyder for taking the time after to talk to us after surgery, staff checking on Bailey the next day & Dr. Snyder calling us with her positive test results this week. We are so thankful for their care! Read Less

We have never had anything but 100% positive experiences here. We've been taking both of our dogs to this practice for the last two years, and absolutely love the care that they receive. The staff is friendly, courteous, and most importantly very caring toward our animals. Any charges that may appear on the bill are explained upfront and in great detail. We've seen both Dr. Snyder and Dr. Parker, and both were absolutely fantastic. Great explanations, took the time to answer all our questions, and showed real concern and care for our dogs. Can't recommend this practice enough! Read Less

We have been with Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital for about 12 years now. Dr. Snyder is the most caring , knowledgeable vet that we have ever been with. We have been with many vets over the years because of moving. When we found Dr. Snyder,  were so happy to find someone who loved and cared for our furry family member as much as we did. Never have we ever felt comfortable enough to board until we met Dr. Snyder and her staff. We love the staff and how beautiful the clinic is. We know our pooch is in good hands when we are there. Unlike previous animal hospitals, they never advise us to do anything unnecessary.  They are many steps above the   others. So wonderful to know she cares so much.  Love this place!! Read Less

Everyone are so wonderful at Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital, They take such great care of our Andy! They all are so caring!! We would recommend this Animal Hospital to everyone who want the very best care for their pets! Read Less

When we took our cats here, the doctors were great and I've got nothing but nice things to say about them. The staff however are a different story entirely - they were rude and unwilling to accommodate simple requests. For example, when we needed to board our cat, I asked for photos to be taken during play time, which is an extra charge that we paid for. They wouldn't do it because "they don't have a camera at the vet." When I suggested that perhaps they use their cell phones to take pictures, they said "it's not really appropriate to use personal property for that purpose." Wow... seriously? Furthermore, we had given them just enough food to cover the boarding period. When we came to pick up our cat, we got some food back. We didn't give them any extra, so they must have missed some meals. I have no reason to think our cat didn't spend 3 days straight locked in a cage and hungry. And this wasn't our only negative experience here... needless to say, we won't be back. Read Less

Very pleased with the care and compassion that Dr. Snyder and the staff have for my boys! Even after a few surgeries my "Big Handsome" still walks in the office without reservation. He is very comfortable and trusting of everyone. It has been said that dogs have a good sense of character :-) Thank You for the wonderful care you give my boys. Read Less

We had been bringing 4 animals to this vet for a few years but switched a couple of years ago.  They are definitely very expensive and push a lot of tests.  They also don't seem to be up on the latest or most economical meds and care practices.  We spend hundreds of dollars with them for a thyroid ear pen med because it was difficult to pill our cats.  Our new vet recommended a suspension of the med in tuna oil given with a dropper, which the cats love, and it's a heck of a lot cheaper.Our saddest experience concerns our 13 year old dog.  She has had a hacking cough for years.  Hemlock Bluffs was never concerned and said it could be "reverse sneezing" and nothing to worry about.  After a few years it finally got so bad we took her to an old country vet who suspected a collapsing trachea and/or congestive heart failure. We took her to a specialist vet hospital and they determined it was CHF, which is always fatal.  She has (and has likely had for years) leaky heart valves and one side of her heart is severely enlarged.  The hacking was caused by water collecting in her lungs (for years).  They immediately put her on several meds to slow down the advancement of the disease.  They give her another, plus or minus, to live.  Had the disease been caught several years ago the meds could have been administered and slowed down the progression.Needless to say we are deeply saddened by Hemlock Bluff's dismissal of the abnormal cough.  Since then we have heard what "reverse sneezing" sounds like and it's nothing like our dog's cough.  Had Hemlock Bluffs paid more attention, recommended another opinion, and been less concerned with pushing unnecessary expensive meds, and moving the animals through quickly maybe they would have caught it and our pets life may have been extended another couple of years.  They are also fairly young and might lack the experience required.  We entrusted the care of our pets to an expensive vet and they blew it.Do not use these people and always get a second opinion.

Glad to see most of these reviews are good, b/c I have never had anything but positive experiences with everyone at Hemlock Bluffs. My dog is not high maintenance, so when we take him to the vet we're usually pretty concerned, and the entire staff has always been great! Read Less

Thank you all so much for taking care of our sweet baby Axyl! We are so happy we found Hemlock Bluffs when we needed good care for Axyl after he was attacked by another dog. I received a lot of recommendations by pet owners for vets in HS and FV. What stood out for me was your obvious care and concern for customer service. I saw your replies to all online reviews and that stood out to me. It's only gotten better now that Axyl is a patient. We are so grateful that you have already shared your love with him. He was our first baby and deserves the best ;) Read Less

There are so many reasons I love this vet clinic I don't know where to begin. The staff are extremely friendly and so loving to our dog. They are compassionate, knowledgeable and thorough. We feel like they love our pet as we do. We love the décor and the cleanliness of this hospital. The boarding facilities are fantastic and I love the attention my pet receives when we have to leave for the weekend. We travel a lot now and i'ts comforting knowing the attention she gets while we are away. I know she is in wonderful care and gets plenty of playtime and love. The staff kiss on her and treat her with open arms upon our arrival everytime!! She thinks its her home away from home. So happy we found this vet and my kids even look forward to our visits here. The staff know our kids by name and are so kind to them. You really wont find a more friendly and caring vet as Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital. You will be impressed!! Read Less

This is one of those vets that push "practice building" unnecessary tests for your pet. For example they pushed a heartworm test for my dogs and cats. There is no effective treatment for heartworm in cats, so if the test is positive you have very few options. They push two complete exams a year because a pet's life is "shorter" than a human's. They push many obscure tests and get you to do bloodwork many times if there is a slight problem. We have spent thousands on our pets since switching to these guys. Ridiculous if your pet has no symptoms and you are providing the basics. To me, the basics are what is required by law -- rabies (and get the 3-year, not the one-year, whatever a kennel may require, and monitoring your cats health youself.. Now we are using a sensible vet who does the basics, monitors general health, and tells you the real story Read Less

Logan loves Hemlock Bluffs ~ and so do we! The staff is incredible. We have been going to HB for many years. Logan is generally afraid of people but he loves the homey atmosphere so much there he even puts his paws on the desk for a treat! Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful people, professional care!

My two little girls are chihuahuas. One is very particular who she will allow to be her friend. From day one she has accepted the people at Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital. Kim is her favorite. My other girl is much more accepting, but is still mammas girl when we are away from home. She contentedly goes to anyone there and I can see the entire staff truly care for all the babies that in their care. I have boarded them there, the first time they were ever away from us, and they were very well cared for. They were excited when we picked them up, but not at all upset about having been there several days. I could not be more pleased with everyone there. Read Less

Great staff and facility! Not your traditional vet - welcoming facility and friendly, well-trained staff. They take the time to get to know you and your pet. Gave us some great recommendations but aren't 'pushy' about things you may want to consider for your pet. They give very useful information to help you make the best decision. Highly recommend! Read Less

This is by far the best vet around. We have moved around Wake County over the last 20 years and switched vets several times and have never been as impressed as much as we have with Dr.Snyder. We had to have our Yorkie put down six years ago and this practice went above and beyond helping us thru this most difficult time. Finally a year ago, we brought in a new puppy unexpectedly. If it wasn't for Dr. Snyders advise, I'm not sure we would have known how to handle this breed with small children. We love this puppy and she now has the best temperament that I TOTALLY contribute to this wonderful vet!!! If you are looking for a practice that truly loves all animals, goes beyond normal care and will love your pet like their own... go to Hemlock Bluffs!! So thankful I did. Read Less

We have been very happy with Hemolock Bluffs taking care of our Guinea Pigs over the past 2 years Stormy and Simba. Stormy has had 2 teeth filings with them with good success. The second filing recovery didn't quite go as well but we brought Stormy back for a follow up a couple of days later and with some medicine is now getting back to eating his usual Cucumbers and Parsley again now. Dr. Synder does a great job caring for our little guys and we would recommend any person with a Guinea Pig to bring them to her for care. Read Less

I highly recommend Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital for all your family pet needs.  They are welcoming from the moment you walk in the door, and treated our cats as if they were their own.  Thanks for making us feel at home! Read Less

I highly recommend Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital.  The Dr's  and staff are very personable and genuinely have compassion for our precious pets.  I have been very pleased with the care my dog Calli has received.  After all procedures my dog Calli has had, the Dr follows up with a call at night to see how she was doing.  The techs are awesome as well.  Plus I have boarded Calli there.  I can leave town with no worries because she knows the people taking care of her. What a bonus!!  Thank you to my dear neighbor for the wonderful recommendation.  Thank you all at Hemlock Bluffs for all you do.. Read Less

We had been coming here for two years and they've got a top notch group of people.  Dr. Snyder and Dr. Midkiff both took good care of our two dogs.  The vet techs we worked with are really caring, helpful, and knowledgeable (Javier, Cindy, and Lindsey).  I feel a good sense of trust when our dogs are released in their care.  Since we have one senior dog, a lot of diagnostics and tests have been done lately so it is getting very expensive each visit.  Hemlock definitely charges more for their tests, meds, and general visit costs than other vets.  Also recently, we have had differing philosophies on the quality of life for our senior dog versus the vet's recommended approach.  We didn't feel like we had any options every time we sat down and talked with them.  Unfortunately, all this put together, I had to seek out another vet to work with and get a fresh second opinion.   I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars for them, but it's the high costs that are a major turnoff.  Otherwise, they are a sound hospital.  Note:  They recently moved offices from Cary to Holly Springs which is a bit more out of my way now.

I researched and came across this hospital after being disappointed with many vets in the past. I was very pleased with the service provided. The staff is very courteous, professional, knowledgeable and the vets are just the best I have seen in a long time. They walk you through and inform you through the entire physical exam of the pet and treat you as if you are part of it just as much as they are. I drive two hours to have my dogs seen by this clinic and I will continue to do so for years to come to get the exceptional service they provide. Read Less

We recently moved and had to find a new vet for our 1 yr old puppy. Dr. Snyder and her staff were very welcoming and answered any and all questions we had regarding his health and the vaccines that he needed (and we had a lot of questions)! The examination was thorough and they really took their time with Albert, and made all of us both feel extremely comfortable and at ease. Read Less

We were looking for a vet in Cary to transfer our pets from after using the same vet in Durham for the past 10 years. After one bad experience at another practice, I was very happy to find Hemlock Bluffs. The staff was incredibly helpful - even helping me walk my dog to the car as I carried a new baby. The doctors are very knowledgeable and genuinely concerned with our dogs? health. They also understand and respect financial constraints and helped us to find an solution that fit our budget when our dog?s seizures worsened. They repeatedly called to check on our dog to make sure new medications weren't causing problems and really went out of their way to educate us on the disease and treatment options. I especially like that they have the capabilities to combine Western and Eastern medicine (i.e. acupuncture) into their care. Read Less

I had just brought a new Guinea Pig and needed a vet to check her out. My vet does not take Guinea pigs and HB was very highly recommended to me by a friend who also takes her Guinea pig there. Our visit went great they were all very helpful and sincere. I didn't know much about guinea pigs and Dr Snyder was great at answering all my questions and treated her like it was her own. I would highly recommend HB to anyone looking for a vet. Claire Read Less

After six years of teaching, I finally decided to take on the added responsibility and cost of a classroom pet, a bunny. When I called the veterinarian who has seen my two dogs for years, they told me that they didn't see bunnies so I was afraid of going anywhere else. I found out about Dr. Snyder on a rabbit website and I have been so pleased with the service I have gotten from everyone at Hemlock Bluffs. She is so knowledgeable about my bunny and his needs and the staff have been so friendly and patient with my thousands of questions. Dr. Snyder even corresponded with my students when they had additional questions about our bunny. Thanks to Hemlock Bluffs for being so generous and kind to me, my students and our bunny. Read Less

I had the opportunity to meet the staff at Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital about a month ago when my pet rat wouldn't quit sneezing. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. Their true love for animals shined through when they treated my baby rat with the same care and concern as they would a puppy. (Not everyone appreciates rats like us. They really do make great pets!) The treatment plan was right on the mark. Nibbles is no longer sneezing and has rejoined his other little friends. Thank you so much Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital! Read Less

Our guinea pigs had a check up and one was examined for hair loss. All the personnel at HB were kind, courteous and very knowledgable. Though the tests and proposed treatments were quite pricey we were able to work out a reasonable option that both served our budget and our guinea pig's needs. I don't believe other facilities would have worked with us in such an accomodating manner. Excellent care for our pets!!! Read Less

I adopted my first puppy back in February and was concerned about his health since he was the runt and came from a shelter. Dr. Snyder and her staff were very welcoming and answered any and all questions I had regarding his health (and I had a lot of questions)! The examination was thorough and they really took their time with Roscoe, and made us both feel extremely comfortable and at ease. Dr. Snyder gave me great knowledgeable advice on how to crate train, get his weight up, etc. He is doing amazing now and absolutely loves going to Hemlock Bluffs Animal Hospital! I would not take him anywhere other than to Dr. Snyder & staff! Read Less

We first brought our dog to Hemlock Bluffs looking for a second opinion for a paw problem. We had a good relationship with our current vet, however, the issue was costing us a lot of money and had the potential for a lot more pain and money. I saw Hemlock Bluffs on Citysearch and decided to try them due to their good ratings. They welcomed me and my frightened puppy and made us both feel very comfortable. After the exam, they confirmed our current vet's opinion. I want to point out that the exam was very thorough, meaning the vet and all the staff spent alot of time with me, explaining things, they reviewed the films I had brought and they even called a specialist to review them. Everyone in the office was very professional, knowledgeable and great with my scared pup. Afterward, they followed up with a phone call and a letter. I was very pleased with their obvious concern that both me and pup were happy and doing ok. I would highly recommend them. P.S. My pup's paw is fine now, no additional expense or pain was incurred. Read Less

Hemlock Bluffs is a great vet. We stumbled across them because they were so close to our house, but thank goodness we did. Both doctors are thorough in their examinations of our cats, and they are also very kind. You can tell that they, and the staff members, love animals. Their hours, being available on Saturdays, make them convenient. They were very helpful with making sure we were up to date on our vaccinations and had all of our records in place before our recent move to the west coast. I highly recommend them. Read Less

One of the best in Cary, these guys have always been great with my cat. Dr. Snyder in particular is a great vet,  she seems to love my little cat even when my cat isn't always the easiest to get along with. This place is my vet of choice for location and service. They've got a great location in Cary, and a well trained and personable staff. One thing that sets them apart from other vet hospitals in the area is that the staff is required to attend weekly training sessions. The vet techs here aren't just kids working an after school job, they really know their stuff. Highly recommended. Read Less

Dr. Snyder and the staff at Hemlock Bluffs are amazing. This is the best experience I have ever had with a vet, and believe me, we have seen our share of them from Seattle to SF to LA. Our dogs are our entire world and I feel like Hemlock Bluffs gets this. On our initial consultation/check up, Dr. Snyder spent at least 30 minutes asking me questions about both dogs health histories and she noticed something about Fredo that has been overlooked by other vets that may very well have saved his life. The assistants are very friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. They specialize in dental work/ cleaning and have state of the art laser equipment that is less invasive and results in much faster recovery. Recently Fredo went in for a minor surgical procedure and the doctor called me once before she went into surgery to let me know he was fine and doing okay with the anaesthesia, and AGAIN after the surgery to let me know he was doing fine post-op.The doctor!  I absolutely need this kind of reassurance when it comes to my dogs.There is no shortage of vets here in the Triangle because of the NCSU vet school, we exhaustively checked out a LOT of vets when we moved here, and there is a reason we pass by 5 other animal hospitals (I counted)  on our way to Hemlock Bluffs.
